Amused Musings On A Slightly Absurd World

Wouldn’t it be nice if all the world’s problems, from wars to pettitfoggery [yes-that is a word], could be solved over a beer? I suppose Obama is trying to lead by example in inviting Skip Gates and Sergeant Crowlely of the Cambridge police over to the White House for a (Miller Light, Coors, Sam Adams?) refreshing beverage to talk and diffuse all the heated debate and tension over males of color, police, and race in America. If only Rodney King could have gotten such an offer instead of getting the ish beaten out of him back in the day. But Obama wasn’t POTUS then and maybe one could say we have become more enlightened about such matters since then. But I don’t necessarily think so. We’re still human, after all. But I think this tiny overture by our POTUS is significant nonetheless. I only wish Ms. Whalen had been invited over as well. She too deserves a cold one.
